HIV cases on rise in Scott, other counties, thanks to drug use, lack of protection

At least 26 people in Scott County have now been diagnosed as HIV positive, most cases possibly due to the habit of sharing hypodermic needles while using drugs, according to a recent release from the Indiana State Department of Health (INSDH).

Alleged harassment and stalking of a former girlfriend has landed a Scottsburg man behind bars. The woman told Chief Investigator Steve Wollmann of the Scott County Prosecutor’s Office that her ex-boyfriend, Damon Huff, 30, had been harassing and threatening her.
